The History of Recipes

It is quite feasible to trace the history of written cooking instructions way back into the far past, in truth as far back into recorded history as the Egyptians, and maybe further still. In practice though, in the main part, these early recipes were just primitive pictorial recipes for preparing food.

In fact, the most ancient recipe found, according to experts are a few tablets in the Sumerian language describing the preparation of bread which is then used to make a drink, quite possibly a form of beer as it is recorded as making those who drank it feel `exhilarated, wonderful and blissful`.

Later on, in Roman times around 25BC a man called Apicius created a few documents showing how to cook the recipes cooked by his fellow Romans. In his scrolls, Apicius tells us how the meals of wealthy Romans were separated into hors d`oeuvre, main meal and desserts, known in latin as `Gustatio, Primae Mensae and Secundae Mensae`. Additionally, he recounts how the Romans made use of many different spices, including many that are still in use today for example bay, rue and parsley.

Later on, we have some interesting books dating from the 14th Century : a recipe book published under the title `Forme of Cury`, and another, similary called `Curye on Inglish`. Don`t be fooled by the titles though, these are unconnected to the indian curry that is served today, but rather descriptions of the types of food on the tables of the rich and wealthy people of the time.

Later on in the 1400s, knights returning from the crusades brought us a variety of spices and herbs from the East, such as parsley, basil and rosemary. The introduction of these new foods and spices caused an eruption in books on cooking, the majority of which still exist in academic collections.

By the advent of the twentieth century, cooking publications are greatly in demand mostly due to increased literacy, people having more spare time and disposable income.

The introduction of the TV brings us TV chefs and the accompanying recipe books.

Which pretty much brings us up to date and the internet revolution, permitting everybody to search through massive numbers of recipes like those on this recipe site.
